Spring contest: Name your Pool Cleaner

{EDIT}The contest is now over. Winners in each of the three categories have been announced in The Coffee Bar.{/EDIT}

Spring is here! Pools are being opened everywhere, so it must be time for another exciting TFP contest!

To enter, please post the name of your pool cleaner and optionally a photo of your pool cleaner in this topic. Please, only one entry per user! Entries must be submitted by the end of April 26 (Eastern time). I will select the top 9 entries in each of three categories: Best Overall Entry, Best Costume (requires a photo), and Silliest Entry. The TFP community will then vote for the winners in each category.

Each winner will receive a Taylor SpeedStir portable magnetic stirrer donated by TFTestKits.net. The SpeedStir mixes your water sample for you while you add drops during water testing. It also includes an LED light that lights up the sample for easy color visibility. It is ideal for the FC, CC, TA, and CH tests included in the TF-100 and K-2006. TFTestKits.net is the supplier of the most recommended test kit on the forum, the TF-100.

Re: Spring contest: Name your Pool Cleaner

Paramount PCC-2000 automatic built-in In-floor cleaner.

We just call it "the pool".
Like "the pool" is cleaning itself.

In-Ground. White Marbelite plaster. 21'-7" x 38' Figure Eightish Custom diving pool with 9' deep end. 24,750 Gallons. Pentair Challenger 2 hp pump, Pentair Clean and Clear Plus CCP420 Cartridge Filter, Paramount PCC-2000 In Floor Cleaning system with Debris Canister. Pool/House was a foreclosure that sat dormant for at least 2 years, and was an actual swamp. Using BBB and POP I made it a sparkling backyard oasis. I have a TF100 kit, and I know how to use it (mostly!). This is my FIRST REAL pool, but thanks to TFP, I know what I'm doing! (mostly!).

Re: Spring contest: Name your Pool Cleaner

Short story..my niece had preemie twins in 2000, boy and girl weighing 1lb 12oz each. When they got out of the hospital, they lived with me for 6 months. I had no fence around my pool as previously there were no kids, non-swimmers in the house. (yard is always locked/inaccessible from the rear)Since I knew they would not be living with me forever, we decided that the best offense was a good defense and we had the kids in the pool from 8 months on. They were always fascinated and scared of my Hayward Navigator. Today they swim like fish, took them snorkeling in Maui a year ago, but they still ask me to "please take the Gator" out of the pool. My vac will forever be the "Gator".
